Well
this week was crazy busy but so much fun! We had a great FHE with Sabu
and the Hales family. Their daughter Rebecca got baptized on Thursday
and so we had a lesson talking about baptism and understanding it. Sabu
really seemed to like it. One thing I loved is that he seemed so
concerned about making such a strong and important covenant. He really
just wants to make sure this is what he wants to do before he does
something he isn't fully committed too. I really loved that because he
truly wants to know for himself and he wants to know the truth of all
things too. His desire inspires me so much. So that of course was great!
The Columbia English sisters are in a trio right now and two of them
had to go to a meeting in Nashville on Tuesday so sister Owen came with
us! It was fun to be in a trio! We had a ton of good lessons and all
that jazz. Sister Owen is on her trial mission and she actually got her
real mission call to the tennessee Nashville mission. What?! Crazy!!!!
So she leaves in two weeks, goes to the mtc for a week and then comes
right back :) so that's exciting. She is great.
We
had interviews this week with president and that is always fun. And
always a good time. President Andersen is just amazing. He really is
just great and is an amazing mission president. On Thursday we had
Rebecca's baptism and it was really nice. It actually made me think back
a ton about my own baptism. I loved my baptism and I am so grateful to
have that memory of my baptism. We had both Franco and Sabu came and
Sabu even sang with the family for the musical number. Haha he was
representing the future members :) well I have some sad news... We have
to drop Felipe. He just doesn't want it anymore. He always makes
appointments with us and then we go to teach him and he is no where to
be found. He just isn't making commitments and isn't progressing... So
that is pretty sad.
Also
this week it got down to 10 degrees!!!! But it had a wind chill of -3. I
was dying. It was so cold. And the humid cold is seriously just so much
different from a dry cold. I am freezing yet my hands are super clamy..
Weird right? Haha who knows. WELL also we had a great miracle today. We
were at the laundry mat and we saw this Hispanic guy and decided to
talk with him. WELL we come to find out that he has just moved here not
to long ago and doesn't know that may people. Well we start telling him
about the gospel and our message and he really likes it. He says that
yesterday his brother called him and told him he needed to start going
to a church. And then today he was on his way driving to a different
laundry mat but felt like he needed to come to this one. WHAT. how
amazing is that?? The lord truly is preparing so many people. We are
going to meet with him this week :) also he lives on the same street as
almost all our SPANISH members. How amazing is that? I am so grateful to
be here and serving the lord :) the work is great!!!
It
sounds like mom and dad are having fun in Arizona. I am jealous. The
heat sounds nice. Also I got a hair cut... My ends were so bad. But I
didn't get much taken off so that's good. I'm jealous of the oranges and fruit trees too. I can't believe Kate and
Jeff get home this week. That is so crazy!!!! Tell them I say hello.
Next up is e! Even crazier :)
Well
I hope you all have a good week :) and are having fun in Arizona and
with school and all. I love it here and I love you too. Thanks for all
your prayers and love and support. Have a good week :)
